Every Wednesday in October, we invite you to immerse yourself in the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini. On November 2, 2025, it will be 50 years since the tragic death of Pier Paolo Pasolini, the Italian creator considered one of the most important "poet-directors" in the history of cinema. From October 1 to 29, we invite you to Kinoteka for a unique showcase of five of the master's most important films, presented in digitally restored versions. Together, they form an artistic quintet that demonstrates the full breadth of talent and interests of this controversial director, poet, essayist, screenwriter, and actor. 🎥 PROGRAM AND TICKETS: https://kinoteka.pl/hommage-pasolini-retrospektywa-w 📅 October 1, 8:00 PM: - "The Gospel According to St. Matthew," dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1964 📅 October 8, 8:00 PM: - "The Decameron," dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1971 📅 October 15, 8:00 PM: - "The Canterbury Tales," dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1972 📅 October 22, 8:00 PM: - "Arabian Nights," dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1974 📅 October 29, 8:00 PM: - "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom," dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1975 This is Pasolini fascinated by religion, Marxism, and the possibility of revolution ("The Gospel According to St. Matthew," 1964); adapting world literature to explore human vitality, sexuality, and the desire for pleasure ("The Trilogy of Life," 1971-1974); and the author of perhaps the most uncompromising and provocative analysis of fascism and enslavement ("Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom," 1975). From the black-and-white, ascetic tale of Jesus' life (enriched with music by Bach, Prokofiev, and American blues) to the radical vision of hell on earth in Salò, this showcase highlights the extremes that make Pasolini so fascinating and continue to intrigue generations of viewers. At the heart of the retrospective is the Trilogy of Life, almost absent from Polish screens: "The Decameron" (1971), "The Canterbury Tales" (1972), and "Arabian Nights" (1974)—a colorful, playful, and sensual celebration of human physicality and the need for sensual love, with music by Ennio Morricone and set design by Dante Ferretti. Pasolini's cinema is intriguing classicism for today's turbulent times: films bursting with energy, inspiring and surprising, as well as shocking with their directness and aesthetic boldness.
